In June 2022, ~90% of all new passenger car sales in Norway were electric. The Norwegian government has also banned all ICE sales from 2025, the first country in the world with such a policy.

Norway has been the most aggressive country to move to an electric world.
But although new passenger car sales are ~100% EV in Norway, total miles driven by electric vehicles is still <20%.
